Fast, Reliable Custom Windows & Doors Across Palm Beach
Custom window and door work in Palm Beach runs on a different set of rules than anywhere else in Florida. Most projects on the island need impact-rated units that also clear the Town’s Architectural Commission review, especially on the landmarked Mediterranean Revival and Mizner-era homes that line streets from South Ocean Boulevard to the North End. That dual requirement shapes everything from frame selection to permit paperwork. TruePane Windows & Doors has been handling exactly this kind of work since 2008, and we know which product lines actually get approved here. Call (888) 635-0804 to schedule a free in-home measure, and we’ll walk you through what your specific opening needs.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Custom Windows & Doors Company
Palm Beach homeowners tend to ask harder questions than most. They’ve sat through ARCOM hearings, they know what a wind mitigation inspection is, and they’ve likely been burned once by a contractor who didn’t. Our reputation on the island comes from doing the homework before we quote. We know which frame profiles clear the Town’s historic review on a 1920s Spanish Colonial versus a 1960s Bermuda-style home. We know that an east-facing window on South County Road needs different hardware than one on a sheltered interior courtyard near the Lake Trail. And we put that knowledge into a written quote, side by side, so you see exactly what you’re paying for.
Our Custom Windows & Doors team includes technicians who have worked extensively in the 33480 ZIP code, and every one of them is background-checked and uniformed. We answer the phone with a live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When a Palm Beach customer calls about a fogged seal or a door that sticks after a coastal storm, they’re talking to someone who knows the property, not a call center.
Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a rule that still hangs on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard applies to every installation we do in Palm Beach, from a single impact door replacement to a full estate window package.
Our Custom Windows & Doors Services in Palm Beach
Impact-Rated Glazing with Miami-Dade NOA
Nearly every window and door replacement on Palm Beach’s ocean-side elevations requires laminated-glass impact units that satisfy Florida Building Code wind-borne debris provisions. We quote products that carry Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval numbers per configuration, not blanket ratings. A compliant quote lists the design pressure for each opening, matched to wind zone and floor height. A cheap quote often skips that documentation entirely, which voids the permit and complicates any future insurance claim.

ARCOM-Compliant Slim-Profile Frame Replacement
This is where many mainland installers stall out. Standard aluminum impact frames are too wide to match the original Crittall steel sightlines on landmarked homes, and the Town’s Architectural Commission rejects them. We stock slim-profile fiberglass and thermally broken aluminum lines specifically to clear that review. On a 1920s Mediterranean Revival estate near South Ocean Boulevard, our crew replaced corroded original steel casements with thermally broken aluminum impact units. We matched the slender jamb profiles and used a laminated glass interlayer with low-E insulated glass to preserve the ARCOM-approved aesthetic while cutting the owner’s cooling load. The install passed the town’s structural inspection and added wind mitigation credits to the policy.

Wind Mitigation Documentation and Permit Coordination
Palm Beach homeowners who upgrade to impact-rated windows and doors can typically claim meaningful credits on the windstorm portion of their insurance premium. But the credit depends on proper documentation after a wind mitigation inspection. We coordinate the permit, the inspection, and the paperwork trail, including the Florida Product Approval numbers and design pressure ratings for every opening. That’s part of The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway.

Custom Door Systems for Loggias and Arched Openings
Loggia doors, Palladian profiles, and arched entryways are common on Palm Beach estates, and they rarely fit an off-the-shelf unit. We fabricate custom doors that preserve the original profiles while meeting current impact requirements. The challenge is keeping the sightlines correct on a six-foot arch without tripling the lead time. We handle that by working directly with manufacturers who understand the island’s historic review process, not by sending a stock-size door to a jobsite and hoping it fits.

Common Custom Windows & Doors Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
Palm Beach’s barrier island location creates a specific set of failure modes that don’t show up in mainland Florida:
- Salt-spray corrosion on east-facing hardware. Untreated aluminum frames, hinges, and weatherstripping on ocean-side elevations corrode fast here. Within two years, seals fail and hardware seizes. We specify marine-grade hardware and powder-coated finishes on those exposures, which most stock units don’t include.
- ARCOM rejections on impact submittals. We regularly hear from homeowners who submitted standard aluminum impact frames and got denied because the profiles were too wide to match original Crittall steel sightlines. That stalls the project for months. We quote ARCOM-compliant slim profiles from the start.
- Non-impact units on ocean-side windows. Installing a non-impact-rated window on a wind-borne debris zone fails Florida Building Code and voids the permit. It also leaves the home exposed in a storm. We flag this before quoting, not after inspection.
- Fogged seals in original steel casements. Old-growth wood and original steel windows from the 1920s and 1930s develop seal failures over time, especially with constant salt air. Replacing just the glass in a historic steel casement is possible in some cases, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s worth it versus a full unit swap.
Pricing for Custom Windows & Doors in Palm Beach, FL
Here’s what real money looks like in the 33480 market, based on recent jobs we’ve quoted and installed:
- Impact window, standard size: $800-$1,500 per window installed
- Impact single-hung: $900-$1,800 per window installed
- Large or custom openings (arched, Palladian, loggia): $2,500-$5,000 per unit
- Whole-home packages: $8,000-$25,000+ depending on opening count and wind zone
What moves the price in Palm Beach specifically is the ARCOM review. A landmarked estate on South Ocean Boulevard that requires slim-profile thermally broken aluminum frames will run higher than a mainland 1970s ranch in Greenacres. Frame material, glass package, floor height, and wind zone all factor in. We give you a written line-item quote before any work starts, and we don’t add surprise line items later.

What Custom Windows & Doors Costs in Palm Beach
Impact-rated windows in Palm Beach generally run $800-$1,500 per window installed, with impact single-hung units at $900-$1,800. Large or custom openings, the kind you see on Mizner-era estates with arched loggias and Palladian profiles, run $2,500-$5,000 per unit. Whole-home packages typically land between $8,000 and $25,000 or more, depending on the number of openings and how many need ARCOM-compliant slim profiles. The honest way to think about it: this is permanent storm protection that also lowers cooling costs and insurance premiums, not a seasonal purchase. We offer free in-home measures and written quotes. No change orders, no surprise line items on the bill.
One comparison worth making: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters require someone to hang panels before every storm, storage space year-round, and they do nothing for daily energy efficiency or sound. Impact windows are always in place, not something you fumble with at 9 p.m. when the track shifts. For Palm Beach homeowners who travel in the summer and hurricane season, that matters.
Florida Pays You Back
The incentives stack, but the final numbers depend on the program and your carrier. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact-rated windows and doors are eligible. There’s also a Florida sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors that works from the purchase side. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit applies to 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection that typically runs $75-$150, many Palm Beach homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. We document everything needed for the inspection, including Florida Product Approval numbers and design pressure ratings, so you’re not scrambling for paperwork later.
One note on ratings: we quote products that carry Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval per configuration, matched to the design pressure required for each opening in Palm Beach’s wind zone. We don’t quote a rating above +/-100 as a marketing number. The compliance paperwork on your exact units is what matters for ARCOM, the building permit, and the insurance credit.

FAQs - Custom Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
A Palm Beach oceanfront landmark typically requires a design pressure rating between +/-50 and +/-80 PSF, depending on the exact wind zone, floor height, and exposure of the opening. The Town’s Architectural Commission may also require the frame profile to match the original sightlines, which means you can’t just order the highest-rated stock unit. Call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll check the wind zone maps for your specific address before quoting.
Yes, in most cases, provided the frame profile is slim enough to match the original steel casement sightlines. The common rejection happens with standard aluminum impact frames that are too wide. Our team on Palm Beach stocks thermally broken aluminum lines specifically to clear that review, and we’ll submit the specs to ARCOM before you order anything.
For a landmarked property in Palm Beach, your custom door must carry Florida Product Approval, which incorporates Miami-Dade NOA standards. The Town requires documentation of both the wind-load rating and the frame profile for ARCOM review. We register both warranty layers in writing and provide the approval numbers with your quote.
Florida Statute 627.0629 requires a wind-mitigation inspection by a certified inspector, typically costing $75-$150, followed by submission of that inspection report along with Florida Product Approval documentation to your carrier. Credits on the windstorm portion of the premium can average around 25%. We compile the paperwork for every install so you have exactly what the inspector needs.
In some cases, yes. If the original steel frame is structurally sound and the Town agrees, we can replace the glass with a laminated impact unit that preserves the original casement. But if the frame has salt-spray corrosion or the sightline won’t accept an impact-rated interlayer, a full replacement with a slim-profile thermally broken aluminum or fiberglass unit is usually the better call. We’ll tell you honestly which route makes sense for your specific window, and we’ll show you both quotes side by side so you can decide.
